Abstract: 434,719. Colour kinematography. HILLMAN, A. G., JOHNSON, G. H., and COLOURGRAVURE, Ltd., Victoria House, Vernon Place, Southampton Row, London. Dec. 8, 1933, No. 34648. [Class 97 (i)] Negative colourrecord images are produced by main and partial exposures for each image, such exposures being made, respectively, simultaneously with the main exposure for the preceding or following image, and with the partial exposure for the following or preceding image ; the simultaneous exposures may be made by means of a divided light beam. The partial exposure may be effected by the use of obscuring filters or the like, or by modification of the shutter aperture either to reduce the quantity of light passed by it at any instant or to shorten the time of exposure. Fig. 1 shows a shutter having an aperture 20 simultaneously effecting the main exposures through windows 1, 2, and an aperture 21 in the form of an arcuate slot having the same angular range as the aperture 20, which, as the shutter is rotated, traverses both windows. The film is fed during the intervals between exposures, and counter-clockwise rotation of the shutter causes the second exposure for each image to begin before the first exposure of the following image. The aperture 21 may increase in width from its leading end, or may be replaced by a subdivided sinuous slot. As shown in Fig. 3, the partial exposures are effected by apertures 21 between radial arms 25, the apertures and arms each being wide enough to extend nearly or wholly over one window. The partial exposure apertures may consist of concentric slots 27<a>, Fig. 4, separated by a radial partition 26 from bands 28, at the same radial distances as them, between slots 27b. Such concentric slots may be used alone, or in conjunction with one or more V-shaped slots 29, or one or more V-shaped slots may be used alone. A quick-feed filmshifting mechanism may be used, and an optical system and filter-changing means as described in Specifications 414,059 and 414,065 may be used.

Title: Combination process for producing olefins from heavy oils
IPC: C07C11/02
Filed: 1955-12-06
Abstract: Low molecular weight unsaturated hydrocarbons such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, butylene and C5 diolefins and solid carbonaceous materials are obtained by subdividing a heavy hydrocarbon oil boiling above 1000 DEG  F. and contacting it with preheated solid particles in the form of a fluidized mass at 700-1100 DEG  F. for a period of time sufficient to convert a major portion of the feed to vapour products and carbonaceous residue deposited on the solids, separating the products and passing the vapour products through a narrowly confined tubular passage at high velocity and turbulence and in contact with superheated steam at a temperature of 1200-1600 DEG  F. for a period of time sufficient to crack the vapours to lighter hydrocarbons and quenching them by cooling at least 200 DEG  F. within a time period not greater than the cracking period.  In an example, a heavy oil feed stock is fed through an inlet line 11 and a preheating coil 17 and into a contacting zone 19 at a pressure of 10-70 p.s.i.g. <PICT:0793123/IV (b)/1> into which solid particles at 1100-1300 DEG  F. pass from an inlet 21.  Steam may be introduced through a line 23.  The feed is converted to vapours and to a solid consisting chiefly of dry coke.  The vapours pass to a cyclone separator 25 and through line 31 where they are contacted with superheated steam supplied through line 33 to produce a temperature of 1250-1400 DEG  F. thereby cracking the vapours to ethylene, propylene and butadiene which are instantaneously cooled at least 200 DEG  F. by a cooled cycle oil fraction entering from line 51.  The quenched products then pass to a fractionator 43 from which the normally gaseous products may be taken overhead through outlet 45.  The solids separated by cyclone 25 are taken down line 61 where they may be stripped by steam admitted through line 63 and then they pass to a riser 67 and to a burner 71 where the mass is heated to 1100-1300 DEG  F. to burn off some or all of the carbonaceous material.  The reheated solids are separated in a cyclone 75 and the solid recycled through line 21.  If coke is used as the heat-carrying solid material surplus may be removed through line 85.
